Application filed. November 5, 1912. Serial N o. 729,704.

' S0 far as I am aware, there has always been a limitation heretoforeupon the most advantageous operation of machines of the. Vclass referredto because they are incapable of receiving and handling paper currency,or bills, in the condition in which the latter are supplied to banks,factories, commercial houses et cetera, namely, in flat piles or packscontaining a predetermined number of bills of a certain denomination. I

Those machines with which I am familiar,

and by which paper currency may be delivered, necessitate a preliminaryhandling of the money, as for instance the crumpling of a bill into asmall receptacle shaped like a coin, said bill being ejected from them..-

chine practically as if it were a coin. After delivery of the bill itmust be removedl from the receptacle, and obviously the operationsincidental to preparing the currency for use in the machine, and finallyarranging it in condition to pocket or classify, are time consuming andimpracticable for commercial purposes. I Y

By my present invention I have solved the problem of devising a machinein the operation of which individual bills, or pieces of paper currency,may'be selectively delivered predetermined amounts from piles or stacks,just as easily and expeditiously as has already been accomplished inrelation to coins or metal currency. Furthermore, the element ofsafeguarding against liability of inaccuracy has been borne in mind, thebill handling mechanism of the present invention insuring the deliveryof single bills only from a certain holder, a precautionary phase ofoperation avoiding absolutely the likelihood of misplacement.

This invention also affords -a machine which is adapted to deliver papercurrency and coinage simultaneously, as well as to interchangeably ejector discharge money of either of the forms suggested, and of the samedenomination, all of which is not oniy desirable but practically anecessity 'in a machine of maximum eiiiciency. In carrying out theinvention, pneumati means are utilized to handle the paper currency,along with suitable ejecting` mechanism by which the coins or metalcurrency are discharged.' The pneumatic meansy aforesaid is especiallyemployed because paper money is very light and requires a particularlysensitive mechanism Jin order to separate one bill from a stack or pileand deliver the same to a suitable point of deposit without disturbingthe remaining bills of the pile. Manipulative devices such as keys areemployed as a part ofthe selectormechanism of the machine, said devicesbe'- ing operated according to the amount to be delivered and settingthe selecting means ready to discharge one or more pieces of money,either in the form of paper or metal currency or both, after which theselective ejectors or discharging devices are operated to deliver themoney from the machine.

The coin delivery machine illustrated in the drawings is of the typedescribed in the application for patent of Thomas Bilyeu, 'illiam S.Overlin and Fay A. Gridley filed April 14th, 1910, Serial Number555,552, the mechanism for handling paper currency being applied to saidmachine for combinative operation with the parts of the A denotes thekeyboard or' the machine which comprises a bank of keys 1 arranged inrows and the keys of each row being numbered Jfrom 1 to 9 according tothe decimal system of coinage. There are provided auxiliary keys 1a usedfor purposes of making` change solely but the operation of the' latterwill not be described because immaterial to the present invention. Asinthe application hereinbet'ore referred to, the keys 1 are adapted tooperate selector bars 2, each of which is capable of actuating aselector bail or yoke 3, `the parts 2 and 3 being arranged in the casingof the machine at the lower portion of the latter and beneath the coinreceptacles 4. Suitable coinejectors are provided, one for eachreceptacle Jr. and interlock with the members 3, by a projection 3a.Depression of one of the keys 1, through its selcctorbar 2, will actnateone or more. selected bails or yokes 3 'and shift the coin ejectors 5connected. with said hails into an operative position in relation to theejector arms (S of the ejector shaft 7. A subsequent movement of theejector shaft 7 b v the operating handle 8 of the machine will impartejecting movement to those of the ejectors 5 which have been thrown intooperative positions, all in a manner fully explained in the previousapplication above identified.

The casing B of the machine may be said to be divided into superposedcompartments by the horizontal partitions 9 and 10, and the top casingplate 11 of the machine. The .several ejectors for the coins in thereceptacles 4; are mounted to slide on the partition l() and the bailsor yokes 3 are arranged in the compartment intermediate the partitions 9and 10.

release To adapt the machine for the delivery of paper currency the topplate 11 of the casing B is divided into a plurality of holders by asuitable arrangement of upwardly projecting pins 12 arranged in series,each series holding in proper position on the casing a stack or pile ofbills designated at 13. 'lhe pneumatic delivery means employed todeliver or eject the bills 13 from the several holders comprises aplurality of suction devices, one for each holder containing bills. Eachsuction device consists of the suction head or nozzle 14 having a.trunnion 15 which is pivotally mounted in the upper end of a lifting bar16, the lower end of said bar 16 being pivotally connected with an anglelever 17 loosely mounted on a shaft 19 near the rear of the machine andextending longitudinally in the compartment intermediate the partition10 and the top plate 11 of the casing. The shaft 19 carries as many ofthe levers 17 as there are suction delivery devices. A chain 20 andspring 21 connect the trunnion 15 of each suction device with thepartition 10 of the casing and u a torsion spring 22 forms a part of theconnection between the parts 16 and 17. Above the shaft 19 is a mainsuction conduit 23 extending longitudinally almost the entire length ofthe machine and connected with a vertical suction pipe 24 located,adjacent to that end of the machine opposite the keyboard A. Ahorizontal branch 24a of the pipe 24 leads from the machine to asuitable exhaust fan or other suction device, not shown, and by which a.normal suction is created through the pipes 24, 24 and the suctionconduit 23. A cut-off valve 25 is arranged in the length of the branchpipe 2st, being pivoted at 2n to a supporting bracket 26 arrangedvertically between the base of the machine and the partition 9. Theoperation of this cut-ofiE valve will be explained more fullyhereinafter. Leading from the suction conduit 23 are flexible suctionpipes 27, one-of which is provided for each suction device comprisingthe head or nozzle 14. This iexible pipe 27 may be made of rubber tubingor the like and the end opposite that connected With-the conduit 23 isattached to a goose neck 28carried by the lifting bar 1G. Suctioncreated in the conduit 23 will also be created through the flexiblepipes 27, the hollow goose necks 28, the hollow portions of the liftingbars 16, the hollow trunnions 15 and the suction nozzles or heads 14which are also hollow and bifurcated to provide rspaced suction members14a engaging the uppermost bills in the holders, near the opposite endsof said bills.

Having in view the foregoing, it will be n apparent that if any one ormore of the levers 17 should be actuated into the dotted line positionshown in Fig. 6, vthe lifting bar or bars 16 and nozzles 14 will becorrespondingly elevated. Suction through the suction heads 14 will benicely regulated so that as said heads are lifted with the bars 16 theuppermost bills engaged by the heads will .outwardly to deliver the billengaged thereby from the holder to a point above the bill delivery chute29. `The chute 29 is arranged at the front of the machine above thecoinl delivery chute 30, said chute 29 `being pivotally supported at itslower end, as shown at 31, upon brackets 32, a longitudinal rod at theupper rear portion of the chute 29 being engaged by a spring catch 33 tohold the chute in its normal position as shown in Fig. 3. The'chute 29is preferably made of transparent Celluloid, or the like.

It has been described hereinbefore that the selector bails or yokes 3are operable by the selector'bars 2 to render connected the partition 10for horizontal movement guided by a bracket 38. The free end of thelever 36 is adapted to engage with a pivoted tripping arm 39 carried bya bracket 40 which is rigidly mounted on the shaft 19. Thus bydepressing a key, as will be later described, the lever 364may be movedlaterally at its'free end to engage 4and carry the arm 39 to the left asseen in Fig. 7, thereby engaging the lower end of said arm 39 behind thearm 17a of the angle lever 17. For the purposes of this descriptionl theshaft 19 will be styled an auxiliary ejecting shaftA because toacer-tain extent it performs a function with respect to the billdelivering mechanism corresponding with the function of the ejectorshaft 7 of the coin ejecting mechanism. When the tripping arm 39isactuated by the lever 36 it is forced into operative engagement Vwiththe short arm 17a of the angle lever 17 'so that should the shaft 19 beactuated, the lever 17 4which is normally loose on the shaft, nowengaged by the 'arm 39, will bel correspondingly moved with said armwhich is oscillated slightlyduring the said operation ofthe shaft 19.The tripping arm 39 is normally held out of engagement with the arm 17aby ay coil spring 41 connecting said arm inV the bracket 40.

The auxiliary ejector shaft 19 is designed to be operated by the mainejector shaft 7 but is normally disconnected from said shaft 7. As shownin Figs. 4 and 5 the shaft 7 carries an arm 7a rigid therewith andhaving a pinl 7b adapted to engage in a notch 42 of a lever 43 which ispivotally connected at one end with an arm 44 on the shaft 19. Theforward end `of the lever 43 'engages loosely with the short arm 45 of acontrolling lever 46 pivoted upon the upper side of the partition 10.The lever 46/is connected by a link 47 with an arm 48 on a short shaft49 which is mounted in suitable bearing brackets on the under side ofthe partition 10. The shaft 49 is a rock shaft carrying the rocker arms50, the latter extending at their free ends beneath a plate 51 which isof sufficient length to extend longitudinally of the machine beneath thecoin receptacles 4 which are designed'to contain gold coins or thoseranging in value from five dollars up to twenty dollars. The plate 51 isconnected with a plurality ofcoin lifters in the form of short verticalrods 52, the upper ends of which pass through openingsin thel baseportions of the coin receptacles just referred to, and the lower ends ofwhich pass through openings in the partition 9. A pair of the lifters 52coacts with each of the receptacles 4 for the gold coins and are spacedapart a sufficient distance to permit the ejectors to slidelongitudinally therebetween, see Fig. 1. y

An understanding of the operation of the mechanism described, and shownmost clearly in Figs. 4 to 6 inclusive, will be readily obtained` uponreference to a transaction of the machine. Before descr1bing suchtransaction 1t may beobserved that while vthe machine of this inventionas here- J with illustrated is provided with holders for bills rangingin denominations from five` 4to twenty dollars, an additional holder orholders to contain fone dollar bills might be provided. When 'the partsof the machine are at normal the money ejecting mechanism is designed todeliver currency in coinage, the controlling parts being insubstantially the position shown in Figs. 4 and 5. Should the operatordesire, however, to deliver a twenty dollar bill instead. of a twentydollar gold eagle he will pull the controlling lever 46 rearwardly, seeFig. 5, this action raising the coin lifters 52 which correspondinglyelevate a slight distance the several 7" of the arm 7a while previouslythe ejector inl ce narrates shaft 7 was disconnected from the shaft 19.rthe lowering of the lever 43 operatively connects the arm 7a of shaft 7with the arm 44 of shaft 19 and the machine has now been adjusted sothat if any one of the keys 1 controlling the delivery of bills or papercurrency from the machine, is depressed, paper currency instead ofvmetal currency will be discharged on the subsequent operation of themain actuator or handle 8. Sup-I posing now that it is desired todeliver a 'twenty dollar bill from the machine, the

`key 1, designated 2, of the fourth row from the outside of the keyboardA will be depressed and this operation will move the selector bar 2 ofsaid key, tilting the yoke or bail 3 which is connected to the ejector 5of one of the twenty dollar gold piece receptacles 4. rThe movement ofthe bail 3 actuates the lever 36 and tripping arm 39 of the pneumatic orsuction device coperating with one of the bill holders containing twentydollar bills, said arm 39, being operatively engaged with the actuatingarm 17a of the lever 17 of such suction device. lf the handle 8 is nowoperated, during one half of the revolution of said handle the arm 7a ofthe ejector shaft 7 will move forwardly, see Fig. 5, causing a rocking-movement to be imparted to the shaft 19 on which the various levers 17are mounted. One of the levers 17 only, however, has been operativelyconnected with the shaft 19 so that the rocking of the shaft 19 impartsa rocking movement to the lever 17 just mentioned and the bar 16 andsuction head 14 will be correspondingly actuated. The uppermost bill inoneof the twenty dollar bill holders is carried upward with the suctionhead 14 which is operated in the manner just described.

As the bill separated from those in a certain holder is raised and swungoutwardly above the chute 29 the suction through the parts 27, 28, 16and 14 is automatically cut olf, permitting the bill to' drop freelyfrom the head 14 into the chute 29. The means for cutting od the suctionfor the. purpose mentioned is shown in Figs., 1 and 8 to 10 inclusiveand comprises an arm 53 rigidly mounted upon the main ejector shaft 7and depending therefrom through a slot in the partition 9 of the casing.This arm 53, during the first half revolution of the handle 8, movesrearwardly in the casing and when a suction head or heads 14 have beenoperated to assume their uppermost positions, the arm strikes a pin 54on a latch lever 55 pivoted to the bracket 26 at 56. The lever 55 is rmoved upwardly bythe engagement of the l'. swinging movement of thevalve 25 is limited by pins 59 and 60. The moment the actuator 8 the arm53 returns to its normal position and by engaging the pin 57 moves thevalve 25 forward until the latch lever 55 is engaged again with the pin57 whereupon the valve will be looked in its open position,restablishing a suction through ,l

the conduit 28 and several suction heads or devices connected therewith.rl`he normalizing movement of the handle 8, which is really the lasthalf of its revolution, restores the ejectors 5, bails 8, selector bars2, and other parts to their normal positions by movement reverse to themovement setting the ejectors in their operative positions, all

in a manner substantially like that presented in the previousapplication hereinbefore referred to.

lit will be apparent from the foregoing that byv simply moving thecontrolling lever 46 the machine will be set for the delivery of eitherbills or coins, in respect to certain denominations of money ranging inthe present instance from five dollars td twenty dollars. The deliveryof coins in denominations lower than five dollars will be undisturbed,of course, by any operation of the j) controlling lever 46. Under these'conditions, the lever 46v and its connected parts constitute virtually ameans whereby the. delivery of bills or coinage from the machine may beinterchangeably controlled. Since the keys 1 are not only adapted toselect gold coinage or the paper currency for delivery but control thedischarge of coins of smaller denomination, it is quite evident that theoperator of the machine can at will discharge bills or paper currencyalone, coinage alone, or both paper currency and coinage, inpredetermined amounts. Thus if the amount to be delivered is fifty-fivedollars and fifty-five cents, the operator will de- E press thecorresponding keys 1 of the keyboard A if the lever 46 is in its normalposition, and on operation of the handle 8, two gold eagles, a tendollar gold piece, a five dollar gold piece and fifty-live cents in sillver will be ejected. If the lever 46, however, is. moved rearwardly,previous to turning the handle 8, the amount above mentioned will bedelivered in the form of two twenty dollar bills, a. ten dollar bill anda live dollar bill, selected from four different bill holders of themachine, and fifty-tive cents in silver.

The peculiar movement of the bill dis- Charvin device is of im ortanceit bein,U "f i is 7 :D

necessary to raise the uppermost bill a short distance above theremainingl bills in a holder, before swinging said bill outwardly todeliver the same from the machine. Were the uppermost bill gripped bythe suction device and immediately swung to the point of delivery, therewould be 'a tendency to draw with it other bills in the holder, and theproper operation of the machine would be interfered with.

It 'is contemplated within the purview of this invention to accomplishthe delivery of bills in various vWays equivalent tothe deliveryprinciple hereinbefore described as preferably used. Evidently arelative mo ve ment only of the bill holders and their ejectors ordelivery devices, is necessary. y
